No one was trying to ban D & E's - dilation and evacuation, which is a procedure abortionists use wherein the baby is torn apart limb from limb and removed in pieces by suction - the womb is 'evacuated'.

This PBA legislation deals only with D & X's, that is dilation and extraction, the baby is partially extracted whole (the head of the baby is delivered through the birth canal) so that scissors and suction can remove the brains, thus killing the baby - "intact extraction, fetal skull decompression, removal," as the originator put it.

This is one step toward the restoration of Constitutional rights for the unborn. It is a good and rational first step. But it is, admittedly, only a first step.

Is a baby not walking because it has only taken one step? Or will you praise him/her and encourage him/her to keep going? I submit that a first step is a good indication that the baby will be running, jumping, and skipping soon, Lord willing.

I never said they were. WW's comment is that D&X's are the most gruesome of any abortion procedure. I was refuting that.

Do you know that for a fact? That's the question that's still unanswered from anyone on this thread. Can you still do a D&X without exposing the navel? If no, that's great! If yes, the bill is absolutely worthless.
